I really like the Kings Arms and of late Rising Sun

A pick between a few, RZA and Dizzee Rascal at St James were both nuts, and Blackalicious at Galatos really opened up my eyes to the level of showmanship some overseas artists maintain compared to what we get here

Running my own buisness hopefully but my main goal is happiness, if I continue achieving that the other details don’t matter as much
